Automatic Operation
Automatic operation allows you to set up Explorer to sample unattended. If more
than one column is required to complete an analysis, then each column will be
sampled in order. If each column has different chromatographic settings,
Explorer will adjust its settings between analyses. You can also configure the
instrument to perform a preset number of analyses. You must use loop injections
for automatic analyzing.
